This cycling tour is as flexible as it is breathtaking. For a relaxed experience, stick to the gentle routes winding through the canyons and valleys. If you crave a challenge, tackle the plateau with moderate to demanding rides—covering 60 to 90 km daily and conquering 1 to 4 climbs (each with a 400m ascent, gradients of 7-9%, and lengths of 4-7 km). After exploring the dramatic canyons, you’ll pedal into the rolling hills of the Pays de Roquefort, where history and flavor await. Adventurous cyclists can push further to the Cirque de Navacelles, traversing the rugged Larzac Méridional in the Hérault department. Along the way, discover medieval Templar villages and descend into the famous Roquefort cheese caves for a taste of local tradition.

Today you leave the surroundings of the river Tarn and go to the
east, to Meyrueis at the Westside of the Cevennes. The short variant
passes by Le Rozier/ Peyreleau, and then trough the Gorges of the
Jonte. If you’re lucky, you can admire the vultures, circling high
above your head. In Le Truel it is worth the trouble to stop at
the Belvedère des Vautours. This is a sort of museum/information
centre about the re-introduction of the vultures in the Gorges.
If you’re in for some more climbing, take the long variant and go
